Hello everyone. I got my SE/30 up and running yesterday. I brought it out of storage last week to replace the dirty ROM with a clean one from bigmessowires but the CRT display would blink on and off. I left it on for a while and it eventually stopped that, but it tried to boot but hung. Then after that every power cycle it would give me nothing but black and white horizontal lines on the CRT. Suspecting a bad power supply, I ordered a replacement and installed it. No more CRT blinking but just black and white horizontal lines. According to the Repair Macintosh SE/30 online, I needed to clean connectors. So I cleaned all the connections on the MB especially the power connector and it woke up and booted like a long lost friend. I immediately backed up the system drive and have been playing with my Floppy EMUs to see how it acts with the SE/30.
How do I force the SE/30 to boot from the EMU if it's connected to the external floppy port?
I eventually intend to replace the system drive with a SCSI2SD v5 and clean boot into 7.5.5. I wonder if I can figure out how to boot into 8.1?
I'll let you know,
Gerry
